"At what time?"

Translation: Vid vilken tid?

[vaskarmukh]

So "vid" can be "by" as well as "at"???

[_Clint_]

Yeah, that one is new to me, too.

[chinde01]

I used "på vad tid" I see that "vid vilken tid" scans better but just want to understand what the difference is.

[Arnauti]

You can't say på vad tid. It just isn't used.

[lagolas2010]

And where is "Vid" often used?

[harshikerfuffle]

I want an answer to this too. I wrote Vad år tid?

[peerVal]

Maybe 'vad är tiden'?

[Timurso53]

Your version would mean "What is time?".

[Gray_Roze]

Technically it's "What year time?" "What is time?" would be "Vad är tid?"

[matthew583808]

Such a philosophical question haha

[stdaaviid]

Jag läser svenska nu och jag lärde att det är "vilken tid". Lärare är svensktalande.

[Arnauti]

Vid vilken tid? and Vilken tid? mean pretty much the same. Both are good answers to statements like 'Let's meet tomorrow'.

[GiuannFlustra]

Why can't we use Vad in this case?

[alazhar]

vilken tid , i vilken tid eller hur dags är bra som alternativ

[Arnauti]

No. Vilken tid? works, but not I vilken tid.

[Petri698366]

Can you use "på vilken tid"?

[devalanteriel]

No, I'm afraid that does not work.

[HoroTanuki]

Is "I vilken tid?" also accepted?

[Arnauti]

No, that is not an acceptable answer.

[Estereha]

Formellt korrekt, men det svenska vardagsuttrycket är "När då?"

[Arnauti]

We're a bit literal here so we'd probably translate that as When? instead, which is also used a lot in everyday situations in English and is closer in meaning. (När? and När då? are accepted answers here anyway). – Speaking of idiomatic expressions, Hur dags? is also an idiomatic Swedish expression which fits here.

[Kristina821524]

Does anyone know if the difference between using vad or vilken would be similar to the difference in usage of qué and cuál in Spanish?

[spicyga_memar]

vad is what and vilken is which

[ex0mo]

Do you also use "vid" in the answer to this question? "vid två" or how would you say "at 2pm"?

[devalanteriel]

You could if you wanted to, but leaving it out is far more idiomatic.

[JohnPap7]

What's the meaning of vid outside of this phrase's context?

[Super-Svensk]

Vid means by, next to, or beside.

[JohnPap7]

Of course. Thank you!

[RavikumarP287907]

Need good explanation of why its not "på vad tid" Please help to understand as what means vad and vilken means what

[devalanteriel]

Whenever "what" can be substituted for "which", you require a form of vilken instead of vad.

As for på, I'm afraid I don't think there is a good answer. Swedish simply favours a different preposition.

[RavikumarP287907]

Thanks

[Ankulou]

I'd like to know that as well.

[devalanteriel]

Know what, please? I think you may have accidentally used the "Leave a new comment" function instead of replying.

[Ankulou]

Oh sorry. I wanted to know if "på vilken tid" works. But I can see that you have answered that now. :)

[matthew583808]

The order wasnt reversed, Why?

[devalanteriel]

What do you mean?
